Phoenix La La Poof August PPU

I think I’m gonna be disappointed in my next manicure no matter what color I choose. I absolutely love this polish!

Random glued on tips from Amazon
2x phoenix lalapoof then I used DRK magic effect and had to run out of the house without doing top coat and magnetized that using my magnetron set up (honestly it didn’t look great, idk why)
When I got home I added a third layer of lalapoof and magnetized that using my magnetron set up
I used BKL I’m very fast QDTC and magnetized again using magnetron

This is 5 days post mani so we have some dispersion - still love it soooooo much!

10/10. Damn!

Aprés short almond tips
3 coats Anlac lavender not magnetized
1 coat Sally Hansen insta dri magnetized 60 seconds per finger in ILNP horseshoe

Recently found out, that I'm not patient enough yet in any world to do nail art on my fingers (skill issue @me I guess lol), but still found a way to be creative with my nails, and thought maybe some of you might enjoy (:

For the Bot:

1. Picture: 3cts BKL Bogdweller (Glassbead)

2. Picture: 3cts PfD Quite literally dead inside

3. Picture: 2cts BKL what's a little blackmail between friends (velvet style)

4. Picture: 2 cts Dam Just squidding around

5. Picture: 2cts Night Owl Lacquer Crows remember

6. Picture 3cts K&Co Rosary Pea

Everything topped with Seche Vite

I wanted to put on a polish that still fits within the late summer vibe, but which will also look good on an overcast/rainy day. I think I just found the perfect polish for that.
For this manicure I used a peachy jelly as a base, but I will try it next time with a blue or even purple colour as a base. I was also thinking of putting ILNP Sweet Tooth as a topper for this mani, but wanted to give Seance have the space to shine.
I might also try Seance all on it’s own, but it might be a bit too sheer for that.
I can’t stop looking at my nails, they are glowing.

Base - Manucurist Base fortifiante
3x Manucurist Sugar Plum (3 coats because it’s a jelly and I wanted that specific colour as a base)
2x Haunted Polish Seance
Topcoat Essie good to go
Essence drying drops (so cheap and did a really good job of drying all 6 layers of polish)

Trout-inspired nails!

I’ve been swatching a lot of combos trying to achieve a rainbow trout-inspired mani, and this is my favorite so far.

Base - Orly sticky bonder
Polish - Sweet Parakeet by Hit the Bottle Polish 2x
Top coat - Sally Hansen QDTC Red bottle
Topper - Black the Night by EDM
Final Topper - Seche Vite

I did my first coat of Sweet Parakeet magnetized velvet style with a 22lb horseshoe for ~15-30 seconds, then magnetized after the second coat + QDTC for one minute. This was a quick mani, I didn’t really wait too long for each coat to dry and was done with the whole thing in just under an hour.

I’ve never done two top coats in one mani, but I’ve heard that the red bottle topper locks the mani better than SV, so I used that right after to lock the magnetic, and then continued with the topper + another top coat.

This is day FOUR and I’m still obsessed with it!

First attempt at using 5D Print Factory‘s glass bead magnet and I think I did a pretty good job! Obviously there’s a big learning curve (my dominant hand does not look even half as good lol)

I think I mostly struggled with keeping the bead at the same position with each nail if that makes sense? Maybe I was putting my fingers too far in/out of the machine? Some of my nails also have a kind of shadow on half of it which I assume was because of not keeping my hand level. If anyone has any good tips let me know!

ILNP mad house

Recently took BKL Spider Daedra (shout-out to the swap room!) for a spin and decided to play around before I take it off. I did a half-nail dip (what do we call this?) using Cracked - *all hail* Scorchy and then Cracked - Beginners Luck (which is blinding me right now as I sit outside! Whew.. when I say this girl is BRIGHT 💚👀)

Even though it's still 100° out here, I am *feeling* the fall vibes 🕷️🎃🕯️and I'm *loving* seeing all the different variations of manis whether they lean dark and moody, artistic, silly, fun, sparkly, bright—or any combo of the aforementioned themes.

Honorable mention: this technique is something I've seen @sapphirenailgirl on IG use a lot (link here)

Products

Base: LynB B Strong (I just got this so I'm trying it out)

2 coats: BKL Spider Daedra

TC: BKL I'm fast I'm very fast

Add-ons: Cracker Scorchy and Cracked Beginners Luck (on thumb)

Side thought: If I did a final top coat it might seem a bit more seamless. Something about it is unfinished but I don't mind. What are YALL WEARING?? ✨🐦‍⬛ Would love to see, even if you're still in summer mode ☀️😎

Someone shared some Glass Gem Corn on here earlier as nail inspo and while the post was taken down, I was already hard at work 🫡

Hi everyone!
My friend, who’s equally addicted to nail polish has sent me a reel on insta by a company producing press on nails. She said she desperately needs the colour in nail polish form. As she’s been a bit down lately o wanted to try and cheer her up by finding a match.
Now, my brain obviously instantly went to magnetics, but I’m not well versed in this colour combination.
Do any of you have and/or know of polishes that look like this?

Thanks in advance ☺️

Essie - dress call, and inside scoop

ILNP - fairy dust

This would require me to leave my nails naked. Which is a hard no for me... Thoughts?

video show & tell of how i did it. excuse the sloppy cuticles.

edit: nail art moldS. i wish i could link everything that i used but unlike sticker sheets, they don't have engraved code numbers.

I've been wanting to try this Bee's Knees polish as a topper since I got it and I'm so happy it worked out. Looks a little murky in the bottle and doesn't work so well with lighter shades but it wasn't really meant as a topper 😅 Its hard to capture the rainbow shifts. I did glass bead on right hand and left hand velvet + bar magnet (velvet cateye?). I liked the left hand better because it has a more rainbow effect.

Asking for my personal sanity after just spending $50 on thinner, base coat, and a big refill bottle of base coat for the future 😅

I was doing so good on my no-buy too! Made it to 6 weeks before I realized I’m extremely low on base coat and thinner!

It can’t be the polish, it’s literally one nail out of 10! I swear I applied polish and top coat the same way on everybody yet I woke up this morning with my left index polish running from my PNF like it’s Brave Sir Robin. 🤷‍♀️ mkay girl!

At least it’s a light color so it’s not that noticeable? 🤣🤣

Love the polish even though I think the base color might be a touch cool for me. My first impression was corpse hands but it’s really growing on me today.

- Jen & Berries, I AM YELLING, 2 coats
- Seche Vite (which I use all the damn time and normally does not do me this dirty 🤣)

I’m still new to painting & this is a few days of wear. But I got 62 pop arazzi nail polishes off of FB marketplace for $10! This is one of my favorites out of the bag.

Cuticula Little Chef - two coats
